Clinton diagnosed last week with pneumonia

Hours after Hillary Clinton suddenly left a 9-11 ceremony in New York on Sunday morning and seemed to be on the verge of physical collapse, the Clinton campaign told reporters that the candidate had been diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday, and had simply become dehydrated and “overheated.”

The medical troubles forced Clinton to scrap two days of campaign stops scheduled in California on Monday and Tuesday, but also raised new questions about why officials had been so secretive about her medical troubles – especially after last week, where critics had repeatedly zeroed in Clinton’s cough during several days of campaign stops.

As a reporter, it was very notable that the pneumonia diagnosis was not issued until after there was the Sunday morning trouble – it raises the distinct question of whether the Clinton campaign would have ever revealed that diagnoses, if not for her own medical problems today.

The thing about Hillary's "incident" today is not that it fuels speculation about her health, but reconfirms doubts about her honesty.

In the end, two very different pictures of Clinton were painted on Sunday in New York – one, was a video that showed her in definite medical distress, while the second video was later in the morning, where she was seemingly fine when leaving her daughter’s apartment.
